Urban Age is a series of international conferences which are aimed to shape the thinking and practice of urban leaders. The two-year conference series is the first step towards the creation of an ongoing forum which will debate and influence how cities are studied, planned and managed.

The series operates as a mobile laboratory, testing and sampling the urban condition using a combination of expert presentations, site visits and opportunities for informal information exchanges. Results are then analysed and regional patterns and global similarities are hoped to help shape the future development of cities and the processes that sustain them.

Over two years conferences have been held in Shanghai, London, New York and other cities. Conferences and publications can be downloaded in MP3 format and as PDF’s by going to the Urban Age website. Please click here.
